Flood-Hit Porajhar Women Craft Herbal Abir for Holi, Rebuilding Lives

  • Women in flood-affected Porajhar, Siliguri, are making herbal abir from natural ingredients like spinach, beetroot, and carrots for Holi.
  • The initiative, supported by 'Siliguri Unique Foundation', aims to help residents recover from last October's devastating floods.
  • Over two quintals of chemical-free, skin-safe abir have already been produced, with demand increasing due to its natural composition and origin.
  • Orders are coming from schools, BSF, and CRPF camps, with abir priced affordably at approximately 250 rupees per kilogram.
  • Most profits will go to flood-affected women and 'Vidyachhaya' students, symbolizing hope and a new beginning for the community.
